Patent AU-2200200-A (AU)
Title: Decorative outdoor fabrics
Inventor: SWERS DAVID N
IPC: D03D15/00
Filed: 1999-12-16
Abstract: A decorative outdoor fabric including a woven structure formed of acrylic warp yarns and at least some of the fill yarns comprising self-coating yarns formed of high melt and low melt yarn constituents. When the fabric is tentered, the low melt constituents melt and cross-flow to the other fibers in the fill and warp yarns. The warp yarns have deniers of at least 150 d and the fill yarns have deniers of at least 400 d. Because of the cross-flow of the low melt constituents, the resulting fabric achieves acceptable abrasion resistance, stability, and load recovery and hand without the need for a latex backing.

Title: Virtual reality imaging system
Inventor: MYERS WILLIAM LORING
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 1995-09-08
Abstract: The virtual reality imaging system takes a multidimensional space that contains real world objects and phenomena, be they static or dynamic in nature, and enables a user to define a point and/or a path through this multidimensional space. The apparatus then displays the view to the user that would be seen from the point and/or path through the multidimensional space. This view is filtered through user definable characteristics that refine the real world phenomena and objects to a perspective that is of interest to the user. This filtered view presents the user with a virtual view of the reality contained within this multidimensional space, which virtual reality presents data to the user of only objects, views and phenomena that are of particular interest to the user.
